    What DACs are you using with your K50 ?

    I had an aqua voce 2 previously and used it with EX/CX combo. Then upgraded to terminator. the aqua had wonderful midrange in my setup. But the terminator was a definite step up.

    Driade Flow Speaker cable and ICs

    I didn’t mean to throw no shade on driade flow. They have no control over shipping delays . But shipping time of more than a week is BS . Especially within European Union. I ordered cables from Audiomica (Poland) same time, it came within 3 days to me
